About the power station
Located in the New Territories, Black Point is one of the world’s largest gas-fired combined-cycle power stations. It uses ultra low-sulphur diesel as a backup fuel source.
We are the first electricity supplier in Hong Kong to use natural gas for power generation. Natural gas helped us to reduce our total emissions when electricity demand on our system increased by 80%.
Emission monitoring
To support the Government’s emissions requirements, we collect and track our power stations’ emissions. We then apply this information into our power plants’ daily operation.
Black Point Power Station is owned by Castle Peak Power Company Limited (CAPCO). CAPCO is a joint venture of CLP power Hong Kong Limited and China Southern Power Grid International (HK) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Southern Power Grid Co. Ltd (CSG), under a 70/30 partnership.
CLP has been a close business associate of CSG since 2014.
In view of the increasing integration between Hong Kong and Guangdong, we see the strategic partnership with CSG as a natural extension of our past collaboration.
We believe our collaboration with CSG will pave the way for new business opportunities for both parties in the long run.
